Move the README file to markdown so that it makes the github page look
prettier. I know that github repo is a mirror and not the official
repo, but I think it doesn't hurt to have it in markdown format.

This has broken checkpatch.pl I'm afraid

  $ git show 724b36ac355895953662d3ba41901873d66c0679  | perl ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -
  Must be run from the top-level dir. of a kernel tree


It seems "README" is one of the filenames checkpatch.pl requirs to
be present.

Regards,
Daniel

Hmm, my mistake. I thought changing README would not require running
checkpatch since we are not touching any source.

I wonder why that requirement exists.

checkpatch is trying to determine whether you've run it
from the right directory, so it just looks for some
files we know to exist in the QEMU source tree. It
doesn't try to do anything with them.

thanks
